Well, sometimes scratch REFUSES to use that font, I just tried using one and it left everything but the “H” out.

I understand your frustration, but we can read everything perfectly fine with this font. There is absolutely no urge to add “style” to your posts. The ability to understand everything clearly without having to decipher every post is important.

By that same logic, there would only be the need for one don't and literally everything with computer-generated text would all be in one font

No, that's a different situation. Because here, we're actually communicating, discussing, etc. understanding what each other is saying with clear text is important. Yet with the example you provide, it's not some sort of debate where no one really cares about it.
To me, when we're debating or discussing something, to ease communication, having readable fonts is important. Outside of that, it doesn't really matter.

It's so people could see better
And also just remove unreadable fonts
Over at some forums (ex. Reuqests), people use fonts (from websites) to make their thread look good.

That's normal; in shops, usually, you want your first post(s) to be attractive and well made, you don't want your first page to seem like it's been done in 5 minutes. It's kind of like thumbnails, but for topics. Yet on forums like this one, Questions about Scratch, and Bugs and Glitches, a “thumbnail for topics” isn't necessary.

And the 99.9% of posts that aren't stickies?

I know that, but then only 3 forums don't really need fonts.
So, the majority of the forums with “looking good” is kind of necessary in some, completely necessary in some.

Then instead of implementing a whole new tag just for a dozen of topics, just use the technique where you download a font, write text, and upload it to cubeupload.

No support from me.

I really wouldn't enjoy it if every single thread used inconsistent fonts. Sure, maybe this could be implemented for shops but I disagree about letting this loose across the entire site.

It's more of markdown then fonts

Yeah, however the changes would still apply. I wouldn't want to see it.

Support, I could see this as being very useful in certain languages subforums. For example Japanese Kanji are often slightly different between fonts, and thus could mean the difference between being able to read them in low font sizes and not being able to read them.

I think this is possible
